I'm the one who preys upon the weakest 
And the weakest always preys upon the one who's underneath 
I'm the one who doesn't see the waves of human kindness or the tides that 
Turn the day 
I'm the one who always turns and looks away 
Turns and looks away 

[chorus 1] 
Because after all, we are only boys 
Because after all, we are only boys 
Will be boys will be boys will be boys 
Will be boys will be boys will be boys will be boys 
Will be boys will be boys will be boys 
Will be boys will be boys will be boys 
Will be boys will be boys will be boys 

I'm the one treads upon the weaker ones 
Those that I can find 
And there'll always be some others who could march along in line, yeah 
March along in line 

And, we'll move upon the world in a massive tidal wave 
And we'll shout and make some noise, yeah 
Shout and make some noise 

[chorus 1] 

[chorus 2] 
The clowns of death are marching on their hideous parade 
Their glaring eyes are filled with hate, but I am not afraid 
Their painted faces cracked with age, their makeup old and worn 
With tattered wings and toothy grins to amplify their scorn 
They're looking for the helpless ones 
They're looking for the misbegotten 
They prey upon the weak and fractured 
The crippled and the freaks of nature 

And when the come upon one who's lost or is alone 
Their smiles get even bigger and their noses start to glow 
Making snarling sounds to pantomime with furious abandon 
And with a scream they pounce to kill and all the while they're laughing 

I'm the one treads upon the weaker ones 
Those that I can find 
And there'll always be some others who will march along in line 

And, we'll move upon the world in a massive tidal wave 
And we'll shout and make some noise, yeah 
Shout and make some noise 

[chorus 1] 

[chorus 2] 

Your sons and daughters, innocent, lay sleeping in their beds 
They'll catch them when you're not around and smash their little heads 
If you think it just a dream, or that it isn't fair 
Just look around outside your door, the clowns are everywhere
